Is There No Other Way ?

This is a picture post.

Sadly, there is no "before" picture, so you'll just have to imagine one.

My car is a 1997 model year, which means she's old.  Over the years, whatever glue was used to originally affix the gray cloth to the foam backing on the ceiling of my car has lost the ability to keep it together.  Thus, I began employing several taping techniques to prolong the inevitable.

This is the "inevitable" ...
a short while back I had to cut and peel the cloth
off my car's ceiling.  And yes, those stickers were
collected over several years.  Thanks kids!

Song Of The Day:
Oddly enough, it was just the front and back of the cloth that came loose.
The fabric on the sides of the car stayed strong.
This is my weak tie in to the song "On The Wing" by MeninDrag a capella (from the University of Chicago).  What's the tie in you ask?  I don't rightly know.  But I like the song and it sounds a little wind related.

I said it was a weak tie in!

Who Vacuums Their Vacuum?

You may not be able to tell from this picture,
but the dust and dirt was ALL OVER !

Besides Monk, I don't think anyone chooses to vacuum their vacuum, but when the bag inside tears, you have no choice.  This is what happened to me when I was finishing the last of my "To Do" items before Karen and the kiddos got home.  Fortunately, I was vacuuming the BIG VAN so everything happened in the garage, where clean up was definitely easier than inside the house.

But I bet it was also weird for anyone walking or driving by to see me vacuuming the garage floor (after the torn bag was removed and the vacuum was cleaned, I still needed to get the excess dust off the floor and nearby bikes and assorted garage items).


Song Of The Day:
The song "Boomerang" was in my mind during this whole experience because I had to clean the vacuum with another vacuum, which is kind of like the dirt just boomeranging around ... or something like that.  Regardless it's a great a capella song by Voices In Your Head (from the University of Chicago).  Enjoy!
